analyze-video

Analyze a reference video and reverse-engineer its style into a reusable Seedance 2.0 prompting template. The output is a new skill/formula (like seedance-2-ugc.md) that captures the video's structure, pacing, camera work, edit style, and tone so it can be recreated with any product, any person, in any setting. Use this whenever someone provides a video they want to use as a style reference, says "I want to make videos like this", "deconstruct this video", "turn this into a template", "analyze this style", or drops a video file and wants to recreate that format repeatedly.

Quality

Content

67%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-sequenced, actionable multi-step workflow with executable scripts, a template scaffold, and an Arcads API submission section including polling/validation. It is slightly verbose with repeated 15-second constraint commentary, and the analysis/output steps could use an explicit validation checkpoint.

Suggestions

Tighten Step 4: the six analysis dimensions and the repeated 15-second-compression commentary overlap; consolidate the compression guidance into one place to lift conciseness.

Add an explicit validation checkpoint after Step 5 (e.g., verify the template covers all layers and produces a 100-260 word prompt with no forbidden words before saving) to push workflow clarity to 5.

Move the large inlined template scaffold into a reference file and link to it from the body, keeping SKILL.md as an overview, to strengthen progressive disclosure.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient, but the six frame-analysis dimensions and repeated 15-second-compression commentary add padding that re-states the constraint several times, so it could be tightened toward a 4.	3 / 5
Actionability	Provides executable bash for frame extraction, concrete whisper commands, a complete template scaffold, and a full Arcads API request body; minor gaps are that a few steps (e.g. the inline python whisper script) are referenced rather than given.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Steps 1-7 are clearly sequenced with concrete commands and Step 7 includes validation checkpoints (poll until generated/failed, confirm credit cost), though Steps 4-5 lack an explicit validate-the-output checkpoint that would push it to a 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Good structure with a one-level-deep File map, clear links to reference templates (seedance-2-ugc.md etc.) and the bundled extract-frames.sh script; minor gap is that several referenced files live outside this bundle and the inlined template scaffold is long.	4 / 5

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description with concrete actions, comprehensive natural trigger phrases, and explicit what/when guidance. Minor gaps: actions are output-character rather than distinct operations, and 'analyze a video' has light overlap with generic video-analysis skills.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (Seedance 2.0 prompting templates) and several concrete actions (analyze video, reverse-engineer style, capture structure/pacing/camera/edit/tone, recreate with any product/person/setting), but the actions describe output character more than distinct operations, leaving minor coverage gaps versus a 5.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly states what (reverse-engineer a video style into a reusable Seedance 2.0 prompting template) and when (Use this whenever someone provides a video, says these specific phrases, or drops a video file) with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive natural trigger phrases including quoted user sayings ('I want to make videos like this', 'deconstruct this video', 'turn this into a template', 'analyze this style') plus 'drops a video file and wants to recreate that format repeatedly', covering the synonyms a user would actually say.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The Seedance 2.0 style-template niche is fairly distinct, but 'analyze a video' could overlap with general video-analysis or transcription skills, leaving minor conflict risk versus a 5.	4 / 5
